Around the match

  • I'm really satisfied with my performance. I feel comfortable here. I can play almost like in training. I'll do everything the same way as this week. I have all my lucky charms together. And I'll eat my pasta Bolognese again.

  • Of course I would have liked to finish the match. I think I played well and especially very bravely.

    Sherif M.hamburg-open.com· 2026-07-25
  • The legs were really good today, but maybe I shouldn't go to three sets every time.

    Korpatsch T.hamburg-open.com· 2026-07-25
  • It was an incredibly high level, I haven't experienced something like this in a long time. I simply believed in what I did in recent weeks, and when you do that, you get rewarded in the end.
